BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION.

C.LEADBEATER & SONS TAKE TOP TWO OUT OF HULLAVINGTON (2) AS HILL RIDWARE DOMINATE.

ONCE AGAIN THE GOOD OLD ENGLISH WEATHER DISRUPTED THE RACING, THE GALE FORCE STRONG WINDS FORECASTED FOR THE SATURDAY, MEANT THE HULLAVINGTON (2) RACE WAS PUT BACK 24 HOURS TO SUNDAY AUGUST 11TH. EVEN THEN ALAN AND ALYS HAD THEIR WORK CUT OUT TO GET THE BIRDS AWAY AND HOME BEFORE THE HEAVY SHOWERS MOVED IN. THE 2129 BIRDS SENT BY 93 MEMBERS WERE LIBERATED AT 08-15 IN A S.W. WIND AND SURPRISINGLY THE HILL RIDWARE LOFTS DOMINATED THE RESULT. ONE WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE RUGELEY LOFTS WOULD HAVE FILLED THEIR BOOTS IN THE S.W.WIND; I THOUGHT THE TOP END OF THE FED AND SOUTH DEBYSHIRE WOULD HAVE BEEN FAVOURITES? ONE NEVER KNOWS WHAT OUR BIRDS FACE; THEY COULD HAVE SIMPLY GONE ROUND A HEAVY SHOWER?

CONGRATULATIONS TO C. LEADBEATER & SON OF HILL RIDWARE, THEY TAKE 1ST; 2ND; 10TH; 11TH AND 12TH FED ON 1844; 1843; 1822 (2) AND 1817.FOUR OF THE FIVE WERE BELGIAN RUNG OFF PLATTEEUW BROS, THEIR THIRD ARRIVAL BEING THE ODD ONE OUT.
